We Might Be Breaking Up
American Idol has broken my heart. We’ve had a long and wonderful romance. I’ve seen every season. I love the performances, the drama, the cheesieness… the whole thing. On occasion, I really become a fan of some of the people who emerge. Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry to name a few. Some are mediocre at best and some are just plain bad. I still love it all.
However, the choices this year seriously make me question my sanity and the taste of “judges”. There have always been questionable people who get into the top 36, but this year? Someone was smoking some serious crack. What in the holy hell fuck? I know ratings have dipped a bit in the past couple of years but EARTH TO DUMB BITCHES: Annoying the shit out of your fans and the viewing public as a whole isn’t really the way to go. I mean, I’m not an expert or anything, but that’s COMMON. FUCKING. SENSE.
Tatiana Del Toro? The psycho bitch who keeps flipping her hair and making sexy freak-show face at the camera? The one who keeps spazzing out and wore that tacky prom dress – meets- cheap – whore ensam for her first audition? The one who brought a press kit to give to the judges? The bitch who wanted to leave her group. The one who only talks about herself every day, all day and twice on Sundays? I bet this bitch has a shrine to herself in her room.
Don’t let the photo fool you. The American Idol make over team can make crazy look hot. During Hollywood week this chick looked like she was one step from breaking out an uzi and pulling all of her hair out. Voice only goes so far, people. This bitch right here will make me stop watching that show. I cannot handle her. No one should be subjected to that kind of fuckery.
And Nathaniel Marshall? Do we really think that the next American Idol is going to be a sniffling crybaby reject from Flashdance?
No. And if we do, I may move to Canada.
His ensam from the final face-to-face was so ridiculous. I don’t even think Paula would have worn that in 1982.
He’s an ok singer, but the tears? And the drama! And I like drama! But not silly douchey drama!”This is MY DREAM TOO! NOT JUST YOURS! DON’T YOU SEE!”
Yes, I see. Shut the fuck up.
So they kept Cry Baby and kicked of supa-fly Jamar Roger.
Crack. It must be crack.
Jamar was AWESOME. His version of Delilah was outstanding! When they cut him the entire room of contestants gasped. NO one expected it.
Maybe they’re all diving into Paula’s good stuff.
There is, however, one shiny little nerdy-glasses wearing hope for this season.
Danny Gokey.
Tragic story- he’s a recent widower. I think it was 4 weeks prior to the original audition that his wife passed away but he knew she would have wanted him to come anyway so he did. And his best friend Jamar (yes, Jamar!) came to support him.
When they first started his vignette I was all “sob story!”. But then I heard him sing. This sweet, soulful, passionate voice. Very reminiscent of Ben Harper. Cute, too, when he’s wearing his glasses. He’s got that nerd-cute going for him. The picture they put on the site doesn’t do him any justice. He looks kinda dorky, but really- he’s got an amazing voice.
He’s the only reason I’ll be watching. But if he gets cut early or they start being super-douchey to him I may have to break up with Idol once and for all. *sigh*
Sorry for my lack of blogging, but I’ve been in a Buffy/Angel fog for a couple of weeks. I just scored the special edition set of all of the seasons of Angel for super cheap. I hugged it when it was delivered. I seriously have issues and I’m ok with that.
Valentines Day is this weekend. We plan on doing our norm: Hooters and a movie. We so romantical like that.
Happy candy heart day!

Don’t even scare me like that, woman! You and Mike are the best thing since Ross and Rachel!
And just to comment on the topic, what is with that Norman dude who is half comedian/half singer? Pick a genre, ass!
How did he get through?!
I totally agree with you!!! Danny is my favorite and his friend should have made it as well!!! That pissed me off and both the other two douche bags irritate the shit out of me!!! Ugh not sure what they are thinking this year!!! I am on team Danny!
Go team Danny!
Please break up with American Idol.
PLEASE.
I stopped watching this parade of fuckery ages ago, but then again we all know how grouchy my ass is. Great post, Ali! My favorite: “What in the holy hell fuck?”– PRICELESS!
Ha. You love to create drama, don’t you? Hilarious.

I… have no words for this season. Tatiana needs to be shot in the face. It’s that simple. And it’s mostly an act because she turns it on when the cameras are around. It makes me hate her more, actually.
I was SOOOOOOOOO pissed about Jamar (whose only ‘fault’ was doing that damn Delilah song). But HE. WAS. AWESOME! And the fact that we get the other bullshit instead of someone good, I’m just MORE pissed.
Danny is SO good, and regardless of his story, I’ll be rooting for him. He’s got a lot of talent, I hope they make the most of it.
I also like emo dude (Scott, I think) and of course, blind dude (whose name I can NOT remember and I’m not looking it up). I think Scott has some talent that his image so far has overshadowed, almost David Cook-esque. Blind dude was just good, and I give him a LOT of credit for going for this. I’d say that they were just looking to show that they don’t discriminate, but the dude is really GOOD… and on the keyboards he’s even better. So, between those two and Danny, that’s who I’m looking forward to this season. I have a feeling it’ll be a guys year once again. I can’t think of a single girl that I like so far.
And thank God they cut Joanna Pacitti. I wasn’t happy about her getting through at ALL – mostly because of the fact that, regardless of her voice, she was given special treatment by her ‘friends’. Then she couldn’t remember the words at all during Hollywood week. Either day. Um… didn’t Simon say that if you forget the words, you’re done? Yeah, that rule held up well (and not just with her, there were others – like the dude who screwed up Cook’s song. HE got through, too! FTW!).
Okay, I’m done ranting. I’m not looking forward to this season AT ALL, which makes me really sad since I love this “Idol” time of year, usually.
( They still have a chance to ‘hook’, me, but I’m not holding out too much hope…
Enjoy your Hooters and movie. Love you guys! <3
Marielle! Come on, now. Me and Mikey’s like chocolate and peanut butter. I just like to throw my stalkers a bone every now and again. It keeps them on their toes. Besides, Mike said the only way I’d ever get rid of him is to kill him and I’m only a drama queen, not a murder. So he’s here to stay.
As for Nick/Norman… I don’t know. I think they were trying to throw some unusual flavor on the show to spice something up. i have to admit, the dude cracks me up. When he yelled out “Seacrest, lemme hear it!” I totally lol’d.
Sarah, we can be total geeks and make DANNY shirts. Or posters like we did for TRL.
Mike- you know you like the show. You just don’t want to admit it.
Ding- I’m filing “parade of fuckery” away for future use.
Dianne- I like the emo kid, too. I’m glad they got rid of Joanna. AND if somehow Tatiana wins this shit I’ll never ever watch it again. Ever. Never-ever.
